What is recorded here

On a slight SW-facing slope in a commanding position with excellent views except to NE. A circular area (int. diam. 22m) defined by a low bank (Wth 1.2m; H 0.4m) with traces of an external fosse (Wth 2m; ext. D 0.3m), recut at S where it forms part of the fosse of a field boundary. The interior is overgrown and hummocky which may be due to quarrying. A square enclosure (11m x 11m) (KK018-012001-) is attached to the ringfort at E, separated by the fosse.
